Richard and Heather Farlow view the wreckage of their pickup and mobile home
Couple among the losers
in local traffic slip- up- s
BySnsanAtteberty
Missourian staff writer
Icy streets and Christmas hubbub Saturday
produced another day" of auto accidents, Includ-ing
one that sidetracked a couple on their way to
a new job in Colorado.
Richard Farlow, 2A, sxA wife Heather, 23,
were headed from Purdue University in Indiana
to Boulder, Colo., where Farlow has accepted a
stage manager's position. Shortly after noon,
their Ford pickup truck and mobile home hit an
icy patch just west of Columbia and slid from
the right lane of Interstate 70 into an embank-ment.
Neither passenger was badly injured in the
accident, which badly damaged the vehicle and
trailer and left an estimated $ 15,000 worth of
property strewn along the highway.
Half an hour after the mishap, the Farlows'
pet Russian- blu- e cat, Burger, was still missing.
' Tm looking for his tracks," Farlow said, as
he walked around the overturned mobile home
and peered at the snow.
Columbia police and firemen were dispatched
to clear the wreckage.
" I just wiped out everything I own," Farlow
observed.
A similar accident about an hour earlier left a
University School of Journalism student m
Boone Hospital Center with a back injury.
Angela K. Sneller2S, of 2200B Bushnell Drive,
received compressed spinal disk when the car
in which ' she was riding hit an ice patch on St.
Charles Road and ended up overturned in the
ditch. A hospital official said she was in stable
condition
Hie car's driver, Matt Renkoski, 26, of 1618
Lakewood Drive, was not injured
Numerous other accidents with few injuries
kept Columbia police busy throughout the day.
Most involved holiday shoppers victimized by
persistently slick aty streets. The noon hour
was busiest, and the victims of one minor acci-dent
had to wait about 15 minutes until officers
were available to assess damage.
While downtown intersections produced their
share of dented fenders, people trying to make
their way into and out of Columbia were also ha-rassed
by road conditions About 1 p m., a Co-lumbia
police officer advised his dispatcher that
traffic on Route B into the aty was barely pro-gressing.
" Cars are moving faster m the IGA parking
lot man they are on the street," the officer ob-served.

27 die in Warsaw riots
Polish troops
refuse to shoot
striking miners
By United Press International
Polish troops refused to open fire
on their striking countrymen in the
coalfields of Silesia where 66 people
were reported killed in clashes ear-lier
this week, the BBC reported Sat-urday.
A truck driver returning to the
West after a week in Poland said he
was told by a Polish official 27 people
had been killed m Warsaw noting in
the first reports of deaths in the Pol-ish
capital since the imposition of
martial law.
His report could not be immedi-ately
confirmed independently.
In Pans, 5,000 people holding a
vigil observed a minute of silence to
honor the death of Tadeuz Nazo- wieck- i,
editor of the Solidarity news-paper
in Warsaw. The cause of his
death was not mentioned by the Pol-ish
leaders of the prayer.
Striking workers also were report-ed
occupying factories in Lublin,
Wroclaw, Miehc and Swidnic, and
the official PAP news agency said a
police raid in Szczecin on the Baltic
coast turned up a cache of grenades,
three firearms, ammunition and iron
bars.
Poland's Roman Catholic primate,
Archbishop Jozef Glemp, in a procla- -
mation published in Rome Saturday
by the Italian news agency Ansa,
pleaded with workers to " keep
calm" and not drag Poland into civil
war.
There were unconfirmed reports
that Solidarity union leader Lech
Walesa, held incommunicado since
martial law was imposed Sunday,
had issued an appeal for a general
strike Saturday in a message dated
Dec 15
Meanwhile, government prosecu-tors
in several parts of the country
have begun holding " summary tri-als"
of Solidarity union officials for
offenses ranging from inciting to
strike to distributing leaflets " slan-dering
organs of the Polish People's
Republic," Warsaw radio said
The military government reduced
by two hours the weeklong curfew in
43 of Poland's 49 provinces, but
maintained the 10 p m to 6 a m cur-few
in five key industrial provinces
and increased it fay two hours in the
Baltic province of Gdansk.
In Washington, the State Depart-ment
said reliable reports have
quoted Solidarity sources as saying

and beat another 10 to death in

A week later, she was back in
court arguing another case while her
baby slept in the audience.
For Mrs. Heame, time off for
motherhood was no option. Her em-ployer
needed her on the job.
" I worked around it," she says.
But working around it meant bring-ing
the baby to work, keeping a por-table
infant bed in her office and
watching the baby nap on the confer-ence
table dunng departmental
meetings.
While the situation was far from
ideal, Mrs. Hearne, now counsel for

Boone County seen as plum in redistricting pie
v By Tanya Barrientos
State capital bureau
Not all of Missouri's congressmen whose
districts might have been reshaped by the
General Assembly's fruitless special session
coveted Boone County. But at least three
considered it a brass nng worth grabbing.
The state Senate deadlocked last week and
ended the six- we- ek session without passing a
plan. A panel of federal judges will now con-dense
Missouri's current 10 congressional
districts to nine.
Most of the major battles during the ses-sion
centered on districts in the Kansas City
and St. Louis areas. But Congressman Wen-dell
Bailey, R- Will- ow Springs and Boone
County's current representative, and con-gressmen
Harold Volkmer, D- Han- mbal and
Ike Skelton, D- Lexrng-ton,
agree they all
would like to represent the county.
Throughout the regular session earlier this
year as well as the special session, a flurry
of maps juggling counties was unable to gam
legislative approval.
Though the map that finally made it to the
Senate floor for special- sessio- n debate kept
Boone County in Bailey's 8th District, others
placed it in Skelton's district or split it be-- 1
tween Skelton and Tom Coleman, R- Kan- sas
City.
The map calling for the split was intro-duced
during the regular session and ap-proved
by a Senate subcommittee. However,
it met strong opposition from Sen. Roger
Wilson, D- Columb- ia.
" When they came up needing numbers,
they looked and said Boone County was left
to divide up among the congressmen," Wil-son
observes. " I wouldn't ( have been) sur-prised
if they had split it three ways."
Wilson led the Senate fight to keep the
county from being divided among congres-sional
districts, regardless of who authored
the plans.
The numbers game permeating the redis- tncbn- g
battle stemmed from a US Su- -
' In any district ve end up in,
we are going to be the kingpin
in that district. Boone County
will carry a lot of weight. The
congressman ( that ends up with
Boone County) will be very, very
interested in pleasing Boone.'
Roger Wilson
preme Court ruling requinng each of the
nine districts to have the same number of
residents. For the Missouri ' map drawers,
the magic population was 467,740. Because
Boone County, with the population of 100,376,
is the biggest mid- sta- te county, it became an
Imsiglrt
area Bailey, Volkmer and Skelton wanted
and still do.
" In any district we end up in, we are gang
to be the kingpin m that district," he says.
" Boone County will carry a lot of weight.
The congressman ( that ends up with Boone
County) will be verv, very interested in
pleasing Boone."
The two plans that received most of the at-tention
during the special session left Boone
County in Bailey's district Although Wilson
says he " gets along well" with Bailey, he
would prefer to have a member of his own
political party speaking to the county's
needs in Washington.
" If it boiled down to a predicament in
Washington . . it would be easier for me to
persevere in a situation like that if we had a
Democratic congressman "
If Bailey gets to keep Boone County and
decides to run for re- electi- on, Wilson says his
success would not be predictable because
" Boone County voters are a volatile group. It
just depends on the candidate."
Bailey says Boone County's population is
only one factor that makes it desirable. " I
think Boone County has a lot of indentifica- tio- n
with central Missouri. It is not only the
largest ( county) in the district I think it and
Jefferson City are the central base ( of the
state) "
Agreeing that Boone County's voting re-cord
has been erratic, Bailey says he be-lieves
he can win it if he runs again.
" They usually elect a moderate candi-date,"
he says, " usually someone that is ar-ticulate
and carries himself well."
Ninth District Congressman Volkmer says
he would like to see Boone County in his dis-trict
" It's an area I would not be adverse to rep-resenting,"
he says. " I don't think any rep-resentative
would object to having Boone
County. Basically, Boone County is a Demo-cratic
county. It's part of ' Little Dixie.' I've
always felt counties north of the ( Missouri)
nver should be kept together."
Skelton, whose 4th District includes most
of the state's western, rural counties, af-firms
Boone County would be an asset to any
central- Missou- ri district
" It's geographically pivotal and a substan-tial
county population- wise,- " he says. ' Tm
very fond of Boone County. People in central
Missouri are pretty much like the people I
represent"
The three- judg- e federal panel that now
will redraw the state's congressional map
will decide who gets Boone County and
whemer it will be split to achieve the popula-tion
balance required by law. The panel is
expected to begin its work before year's end.
